Replace the spreadsheet with a Power App people will use

Screens designed around the task, data that stays in SharePoint or Dataverse, and lookups so nobody retypes what another system already knows.

Beyond a default
Power Apps form

The interface is designed first. The platform is extended only where the standard controls fall short.

Screens people can finish

Layouts around the task, your branding, and validation that says what is wrong.

Screen designs agreed before build
Your colours and labels
Desktop, tablet, and phone
Contrast and keyboard use checked

Custom controls

When a text box is the wrong tool, we build a control with the Power Apps Component Framework and reuse it.

Ratings, timelines, and pickers
Grids that match the job
Shared across your apps

Connectors

Talk to systems Microsoft does not connect to out of the box, and share that connection with Power Automate.

Any REST API you can call
OAuth or an API key
One connector, many apps and flows

Lookups while people type

Pull a company, a customer, or an order into the form instead of asking someone to copy it.

Fewer mistyped records
CRM and finance data where you allow it
Faster forms

A dashboard, not another export

Status, totals, and the records that need a person, inside the app or in Power BI.

From the total down to the row
Scheduled exports for managers

Built so IT can keep it

Roles, an audit trail, and a solution your admins can move between environments.

SharePoint or Dataverse, chosen for the job
Documented handover
Premium licences named before you commit

Two shapes
we build often

Example layouts with made-up figures, so you can see the screen. They are not a customer system.

Example

Contracts, renewals, and the notice window

Replaces a shared sheet of end dates with a register that warns you before a renewal closes.

Alerts before review and notice dates

Sample screen. Not a live customer system.

Example

Spend requests that do not sit in a mailbox

A request with the reason, the cost centre, and the amount, routed by value, with every decision kept.

From the spreadsheet
to launch

Name the job

We map the sheet or the inbox the app will replace, and who uses it.

Screens and a price

Screen designs and the data model agreed, with a fixed scope, before build.

Build in the open

A working version early, so you try it with real rows while there is still time to change it.

Launch

Rollout, a short training, and notes. Later features can be a follow-on, not a surprise.

Start with an app
we already ship

If the spreadsheet is really an asset register, a visitor log, field work, or a timesheet, a Chronodat app may already be the product. Custom Power Apps are for the process that is yours alone.

questions

Do we need extra Power Apps licences?

Apps that use SharePoint lists run under most Microsoft 365 plans. Dataverse, custom connectors, and some integrations need premium licences. We flag that in the quote, and we will offer a standard-licence design when it still does the job.

What is a custom control?

A piece of interface built with Microsoft’s Power Apps Component Framework, for example a rating, a timeline, or a grid the standard controls cannot draw. It behaves like a built-in control and can be reused.

Can the app pull data from our other systems?

Yes. With a standard or custom connector, the form can look up a customer, an order, or a public record and fill the fields, instead of asking someone to type them.

What kind of apps do you build?

Contract registers, purchase and capital requests, inspections, onboarding checklists, bookings, and risk logs. Anywhere a spreadsheet is holding a process together. If a Chronodat app already covers it, we will point you there first.

How long does an app take?

A simple form and list is often one to two weeks. A multi-screen app with approvals and a dashboard is often three to six weeks, with a working version to try along the way.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. Power Apps runs in a browser and in the mobile app on iOS and Android. If the work happens with a poor signal, we design the offline pattern in rather than discovering it on site.

Which spreadsheet
should go first?

Send the sheet or describe the process. We will sketch the app that replaces it, or tell you a Chronodat product already does.
